super topcor 150mm f 5.6 in a seikor shutter your views please

<p>guys<br /> this is the older version and is in a horseman lensboard and is very compact<br>

it has the lens description on the outside of the lens ring<br /> its going to be used in a 6x9 camera<br /> i cant find anything on the net about it except it will cover 5x4<br /> what are your thoughts on this lens<br /> i have the newer 150mm f5.6 version which is a larger lens in a copal shutter for my 5x4<br /> regards Andrew</p>

<p>Why are you asking people who don't have <em>your</em> lens how good it is? You have the thing, ask it.</p>

<p>I used to use super topper (Horseman) 180 on a Horseman VHR. My only complaint was that it is a bit dim and hard to focus. Other than that, I made some fine photographs using this lens. I still have my entire horseman set-up, but have gone completely digital. </p>

Ijust bought a Topcor 180mm pt f5.6 in a no 0 shutter i thought it would be a more usefull focal length at the minute.<br>

Ive a 150mm Sekor to use instead ,ill get a topcor 150 some other time as it can be closed in the Busche<br>

thanks for your help.<br>

Remember you advised me a couple of years ago i think, not to modify my Busche Pressman to a graflock back<br>

and that a 620 adapt a roll on the spring back would be better.<br>

well i did it anyway and modified it to a graflock back and filed the filmgate to 6x9cm and use it mostly handheld on the hugo meyer rangefinder with a mamiya press 100mm sekor its a great camera .<br>

well i took note of your advice and bought another busche pressman a few months ago with a kalart rangefinder and left the spring back intact, i just filed the film gate corners square but couldnt find the right size 620 adapt a roll ,so i got one for a 5x4 camera and cut the 5x4 flanges off it with a hacksaw filed it smooth and it works great i use it on the rangefinder for 100-105mm lenses and focus on the ground glass for other focal length lenses and slide the adapt a roll in for the shot its easy to use a great camera too <br>
